What reading level is In Old Ceylon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the wall is feathery with grass and weed ; creepers cover it in places, and small grey squirrels flicker like lizards in and out of its crannies, while wise little pink-faced monkeys peer grievously down at you from the forks of the innumerable great ancient Bo-Trees, seedlings of the Holy Tree, that have sprouted all round from the crannies of the wall. Magnificent aged specimens are these now.
252 IN OLD CEYLON in the course of years, and make the whole enclosure a forest of shade. Throug...h their fine, sparse foliage the sunlight dapples the bare earth, and quivers and dances as the breeze goes dancing through their branches. The warm twilight of the place is filled with a very pleasant calm. All over the precinct are scattered forests of square stone pillars that originally carried roofs, porches, abbey buildings. Here and there among them sit or lie prone pathetic black statues of the Most Perfect One, marred and broken, stripped of their gold and jewels, left tumbled amid the wreckage, or cradled in the roots of some Bo-Tree, with the sunlight making streaks and splashes of gold amid the greenery across the dark smiling face that once, gilded and coloured, gazed out through the sacred obscurity of some close shrine.
